How do they call NM when McCain has a huge lead (with only 4% reporting):

I was wondering this myself, I figured it was some artifact of the strange American electoral system (the details of which I'm mostly ignorant).

Because the Albuquerque and Sante Fe haven't reported in yet, and they're expected to go heavily for Obama.

They won't call it until at least 11PM when California puts another shovel of dirt on McCain.

206 to 89, Obama closing in on 270 fast. McCain can take the rest of the country, other than Washington, Oregon and CA of course, which will certainly go Obama, aand he will still lose. It's pretty much over.

I want to hear Palin's concession more than McCain's. Get some crying kids on the stage for good measure.

I absolutely hate her for that "palling around with terrorists" bullshit she pulled.

Yeah, she should spend more time slipping condoms into her daughter's purse than spewing lies about Obama. Good riddance to all of them.

Hey, look on the bright side. When she concedes she may disclose her medical records.

She disclosed them Monday night. Pay attention. :p


Now the difference in Indiana is only 7000. Another nail-biter!

I just did :D

Haven't you been saying for months that McCain would win?

Yes, he did.

I didn't think he'd have the nerve to show his face in here. I guess he's more audacious than I thought. What do you say dmcoward? You gonna admit you were so wrong it hurts?

I said I would gladly say I was wrong on this one especially since I get to say

Hey, guys, turn it over to Comedy Central. Steven Colbert and Jon Stewart are giving live analysis.

Flawless victory.

VA and NC look like they're going Obama, too.

He's running up the score.

What happened to Fox national? I'm only getting local Fox.

National feed has been absent for close to 30 min. What-up?
